Wiltshire, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time
Job Introduction

As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to residents' lives as you improve their daily living skills. Passionate about people, you will enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress with us. A majority of the people we support will have a 1 to 1 or in some cases 2 to 1 support. We also have a few people that have sessions with 3 to 1 staff. We require dynamic and forward thinking staff who are motivated and able to work within their own initiative as well as within a team and think outside the box.

 

Where will I be working?

Our Refocus Day Centre in Salisbury provides support for adults with Learning Disabilities. We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent as possible. Day service for adults with complex needs.

Shift Patterns

Your working pattern will be 5 days a week, Monday to Friday, starting time 8:30/9:30 and finishing times 15:30/17:00.

Role Responsibility

What will I be doing? 

This is a hands-on job in which no two days are the same. Your duties will include:

  • Promoting the independence of people we support
  • Supporting a full range of daily activities including cleaning and cooking and days out 
  • Arranging activities in the local community
  • Developing life skills and personal interests of the people we support
  • Helping the people we support to stay safe and healthy
  • Assisting with personal care needs
  • Moving and handling
  • Supporting people with medication 
  • Ensuring record keeping is maintained to the required standard at all times and contributing to service monitoring requirements
  • Promoting the wellbeing of the people we support by ensuring a person centered approach to all individual needs
  • Working as part of a team and also as a 1-1 using your initiative and creativity
  • Providing bespoke support to individuals who are recognised as having additional needs
The Ideal Candidate

What skills and qualities do I need to have?

Whilst knowledge of learning disabilities and complex needs would be beneficial, it isn't essential. What is essential is that you are:

  • Passionate, caring and enthusiastic
  • Flexible, patient and non-judge-mental
  • A great team player with lots of energy
  • Able to demonstrate good communication skills
  • Able to complete the physical aspects of the role such as moving and handling
About us

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

 

We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package.

 

You will get 29 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 31 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
